The elusive Australian platypus



The native Australian platypus spends its days eating crustaceans and plants at the bottom of rivers, lakes and streams, or resting in its burrow. With its shy nature, this species is happy leading a solo life.  Despite sharing the same body of water at times, these unique, egg-laying mammals will only come together during breeding season or when a mother is nurturing her young
